β-catenin activates TGF-β-induced epithelial–mesenchymal transition in adenomyosis
Experimental & molecular medicine ·doi:10.1038/s12276-020-00514-6

Adenomyosis is defined as the presence of ectopic nests of endometrial glands and stroma within the myometrium. Adenomyosis is a common cause of dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, and chronic pelvic pain but is often underdiagnosed. Despite its pre…

The Molecular Basis of Adenomyosis Development
·doi:10.12750/jet.2018.33.1.49

Adenomyosis is a benign gynecological disease frequently affecting women of reproductive age. It has a negative impact on the quality of life, causing bleeding disorders, dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, and infertility. However, the mole…

Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase 1/2 Signaling Pathway Is Required for Endometrial Decidualization in Mice and Human
PloS one ·doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0075282

Decidualization is a crucial change required for successful embryo implantation and the maintenance of pregnancy. During this process, endometrial stromal cells differentiate into decidual cells in response to the ovarian steroid hormones o…

β ‐Catenin activation contributes to the pathogenesis of adenomyosis through epithelial–mesenchymal transition
The Journal of Pathology ·doi:10.1002/path.4224

Adenomyosis is defined by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma within the myometrium. Despite its frequent occurrence, the precise aetiology and physiopathology of adenomyosis is still unknown. WNT/β-catenin signalling molecules ar…
